TERM LIMITS FOR CONGRESS I believe that term limits should be placed on our Congressmen and women because it would allow for a more efficient Congress. The current Congress is in shambles, a dismal failure and is in desperate need of new ideas, procedures, and influence. With term limits in place, Congress will be more responsible toward their constituents because they themselves will soon be constituents. They will have to live under and abide by the laws they created while in office. They’ll have less time in office to develop money ties to lobbyists and other special interest groups, thereby weakening the threat of lobbyists being able to influence legislation.
The offenses are harmful to not only businesses in the United States of America but to the world of business as a whole and are unacceptable. If the law had been in place, many shareholders would have been safeguarded but numerous investors lost their lifetime savings by company insiders. The corporate world is a much more secure place with regards to investing with all of the changes and modifications which are now enforced. I still think there are other actions which can be taken to protect shareholders even though the modifications have significantly improved the procedure. Businesses must develop an ethical balance so as not to take advantage of unknowing shareholders who have invested their lifetime
Proposition 32 won’t fix everything in Sacramento. But the measure does ensure that unions, one of the most powerful groups in the capitol, are deriving their funds in a way from informed members. Proposition 32 gives Californians a chance to rein in the
While at a glance each of these programs may seem harmless, Dr. Spencer illustrates why he believes America’s economy is declining because of the current system. Dr. Spencer states,” The most useful role of government in the economy is to make sure people –especially companies and businesses-play by the rules.” Anti-trust laws for example provide rules that prevent monopolies in the market. Many of the programs the government enacts stall the natural effects of supply and demand that drive a free market and are in fact monopolies. As is
All the variation in public assistance could lead to migrations of welfare recipients to places where benefits are more generous. And some worry that the result could be a "race to the bottom" as local governments reduce benefits in an attempt to avoid attracting more poor people – or even drive them out entirely. The Politics Politically, welfare reform is perhaps the most conspicuous example of how President Clinton adopted – some say co-opted – parts of the Republican agenda. Historically, Democrats had defended the old welfare system against GOP attacks. Clinton defined himself as a centrist Democrat in his 1992 campaign in part by promising to "end welfare as we know it."
Assess the argument that state policy has largely failed to protect the institution of the family I think that state policy although appears to benefit people with families and their families; it is not always the case. An example of how state policy does not protect the institution is the Divorce Law Act. This act allows for a quicker, cheaper way of getting a divorce and allows divorce to be obtained much easier. This does not protect the institution of family because before this act came into place most people would try to work out the problems within their marriage because divorce was a long and expensive process. However, with the new act and its simplicity people are no longer trying to fix their marriages and are just getting divorced which leads to the breakdowns of many family units.
The endorsement groups offer bribes and ask for unnecessary promises to the politicians running for office. The temptation of falling into these traps is monstrous. According to Obama, these politicians feel that if they do not accept these bribes or arguments then they will lose out on endorsement deals as well as votes. Taking endorsements are not bad in anyway. However, a company endorses a certain individual for reasons such as political similarities or to help promote their product.
It’s like a toxic candy with poison inside but sweet sugar covering outside. Congress may not be able to predict the consequences, or it could have already recognized the negative outcomes but still chose to continue because the results sound good to people. Raising the minimum wage won’t be efficient unless it’s adjusted sufficiently and accordingly to the movement of market wages and inflation (even by doing so, there will be still a number of job losing but that’s unavoidable). Otherwise, nothing but the opportunity of teenagers –the future of the world- will be damaged. Works Cited Frisby, John.
Some people think that by accepting the bill they will have to let everyone in, other citizens believe it is unfair for them; they believe they will take most jobs and in some cases take away a citizen’s job. Another factor why people oppose to it is because they believe that undocumented people do not pay their taxes. Another con would be that more people would be inspired to cross to the United States. There are many contradictory statements that make the bill seem like its benefiting undocumented students without anything in return, when in reality it would help
This is just another example of how TV has had a negative impact on Presidential elections. Whether it be image or ratings, television has had a negative effect on presidential elections and America may be suffering for it. As a nation we are more likely to choose the better looking candidate even if we aren't so sure about his views and ideals. Elections used to be all about views and ideals and now it has become a popularity contest, of who has the best hair and who gets the better ratings on
